Re: Audio recording with key's noise

2006-05-19 by franpeyr

Good evening everybody

I want to tell you every information about my "problem".

Sooooo, it will be a little bit hard to say it in english...

First, there are differences, hudge, between the Mark III (full function or not) and the Pro 
series, and one of these differences is the fact that only the Pro series pianos are 
controlling the return of the keys. The midi parameter "velocity note off" is used for it, and 
with Mark lll Series, it makes nothing.

Second, there are differences between uprights and grands pianos, and one of those is the 
mechanic of the hammer itself. It's hard to explain, but the DK mecanism, while working 
on an upright, is not using the long part of the key, but the short one, which is lested. It 
means that, when DK stops playing a key, the key returns to her initial position faster and 
stronger than with a finger.

It's a Yamaha's french specialist of the DK who told me that. So, there is *nothing* to do 
with my problem (the only solution is to by a pro-grand piano, wich is veeeery expensive, 
and unfortunally I don't have the house to contain it...).

Those woody sounds are disturbing, but only if you play few notes, and you want to record 
a little close to the harmony table, ok.
But "adios" to Debussy-like, Arvo Pärt-like,.... Peyrony-like (that's my name :°)  )

WHat do you think of that ?
